Sarah Palin I have no douth that she should run if not for President atleast for Vice President and merge with a good and Strong Candidate but who is that strong Candidate that are well known and can beat Obama? I guess we should have to wait a little longer and see what's up with the other menus for the 2012 G.O.P. candidate. It is ironic that a couple of strong Candidate just drop from their Candidacy! anyway I am still go for Sarah Go! Sarah go!

Interesting discussion. You should post your viewpoints about this on www.whitehousevoice.com!

You seem to miss the point...
Sarah does one hell of a job of drawing the fire of the media, and she has incredible resilience. She springs back, fully regenerated, mere days after they sound the death toll. Her mere image causes widespread agitation to the left. When she is in the spotlight, taking damage for her party, the other candidates are unscathed.
In online gaming it's called a Main Tank; a designated punching bag, the unit that is only there because it grabs the "aggro" of the enemy, pulling all fire away from the important units.
The GOP has been given a gift that borders on divine intervention. If they step up to the plate and use it to their gain, the liberal left will never know what hit them from behind. Their attention will simply be on the wrong person.
I love Sarah. Her picture alone is enough to start the liberals at my office foaming at the mouth, spitting out strings of derogatives.
I say let's keep her out front, and keep polishing her up when she gets battered. We need her in this role - look at the gains we made in the midterms, with the media focused on here.
I'll back our serious candidates for election, but I say keep Sarah in their faces.

1 Not because she is so great.
2 Because Obama is so bad. He will be handily beat by any Republican except
Mitt Romney!
3 Where is the other choice in the Republican hopefuls?
4 She knows how to wire the common man in America.
5 The common man hates most of the national media and they hate her
therefore she will gain from their opposition. Fox the only popular network
will back her!
6 What is her campaign strategy? No one knows and it may work, the old
system is not popular in America.
There is just one great danger that is Mitt Romney and he will lose the election to Obama because there is little difference between he and Obama! There will be no fire in the belly for any of the Republican Senators or Representatives running for election if he is the Republican candidate! Therefore the Republicans will have a chance to lose some senate and house seats.
GOD FORBID!

1) She quit the Governorship to ride her popularity wave and make big bucks before her 15 minutes of fame were up and most Americans know it.
2) If elected, she will move to the middle to get re-elected since her conservatism is mostly a facade to garner popularity and the GOP echelon knows it.
3) She mostly only appeals to far-right ultra conservatives.
4) She is a money grubber and will say or do almost anything for cash. Her fan base doesnt seem to recall that she only proclaimed herself a Tea Party spokesperson very late in the game long after the Tea Party gained popularity.
5) She doesn't think too well on her feet and will fail in the debates.

Some people are so blinded by their political views that they say stuff like "So what if Palin quit her job as governor?" Really? When the going got tough she quit? Also, more experience as the governor meant more experience for the Presidency. I don't think making tons of money going across the country doing speeches makes her more qualified for the presidency. Finishing her job as governor would have made her more qualified.
I'm not saying don't vote Republican. But the fact that you don't like Obama doesn't make Palin the best choice. Find another Republican candidate to back. Romney is getting attacked for his Mass health care reform, but is that really enough to make him worse than Palin? He has his money already and doesn't crave attention like Palin. Even if you don't like Romney, find someone other than Palin to back. She's hot air looking for more money and attention. She's not fit to be a president.
Any excuse for why Palin quit as governor is just pathetic. She is not the answer to our country's problems. Hype never is. Just like the hype of "Hope" and "Change" (way to be specific) wasn't the answer in 2008.

If you would have asked me back when Mike Huckabee was the expected Republican nominee, I did write Sarah Palin did not have a chance to win the Republican nominee. If you would have asked me back when The Donald entered the race, I did write that Sarah Palin will not win the Republican nominee. Be The Donald’s White House Press Secretary. But those that have plotted and planned to defeat an incumbent since the second week of November 2008 are begging for someone to take leadership in the Republican Party. I think a twelve-year old can win the Republican Primary so why not Sarah? Back then I wrote that Sarah will need a powerful man behind her as vice-president to defeat Barack Obama, if only she could win the primary. Today, after reading the numerous articles of the unhappy campers in the Republican camp, I really believe Sarah Palin has a chance to win the primary. With the King of Taxation promising more taxes in the second term and keeping the soldiers overseas, Sarah has a chance to even win the major election for president after realistically winning the primary. I was finally able to watch Robin Hood on HBO Asia. The version was about King John inheriting England and needed Robin Hood to fight the King of France from invading England. King John promised Robin Hood and those in support of his future that King John will sign the Magna Carta. But after chasing the King of France back to France, King John decided not to honor his promise of giving Liberty to his people. Sarah seems like to me that she is on a crusade to give the American people back their liberties taken by the King of Taxation. I was going to write that Marco Rubio, if he has the funding, should enter the race because it will prepare and give him more campaigning experience for a run on 2016 since the King of Taxation is expected to win anyway, but if Sarah Palin being such a gung ho tough woman kind of politician would benefit more with a Marco Rubio as the vice president selection. I think it would be a good enough ticket to defeat the King of Taxation.

the money she has earned through her doings have shown that she is a big spender - who in their right mind, today, can afford a big home and carry on, I cannot and maybe you cannot too. I cannot support an individual who takes money from well respected citizens and then spends it like it is going out of style - in today's economy times are hard and by actually going out buying a huge home is one bad move in her part - I truly respected this woman once but today I find it disgusting to think with all that money she has taken in to be spend on a home when most us do not have food on the table nor able to pay our utilities - is this a sign of greed or a sign of nonsense. I suggest before you donate to this or her cause how much do you really have left afterward - not much - I truly believe that her motto is do not applaud but send money - she will need it quick before her flame runs out and will need much of it to up keep the new home she has just purchased - it is really funny how the governor of Arizona has not yet responded to the new citizen that is moving in - I for one am surprised that the open arm welcome has yet been exposed to this woman from another woman - would one say that its poison to the state and one starts to think that palin would want to run for a position in the political world of Arizona - my personal feelings is that Ms Palin will never ever be able to win an election of any sort due to the bad press - the lack of knowledge of politics - the half term stunt - and the "me me me attitude" is not what I consider her most strongest points in her career. As a parent Palin has also shown the lack of - her children has shown that they have no respect for others and it has been published in the media - if one considers this a high morals then Ms. Palin has issues that should be taken care of - before gallivanting around the nation on what needs to be down Ms Palin should settle down and take care of business at home - if you cannot control your own home what makes one wonder she can control what is going on in the world.

Wild Bill says "so what if Palin quit her job as Governor"
I think that nullifies the thought that Wild Bill has any sense.

President Liar Boy?
This coming behind the previous "Mission Accomplished", "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction", "I don't believe in nation building" Bush?
Switch the channel off Fox Propaganda and explore other sources information sometimes.
It's healthy.. really.
